✨ scim-make-table — the girlies' guide to the SCIM table builder ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to scim-make-table(1) 💖 this is a page from the General Commands Manual (section 1, where all the cool CLI stuff lives) and it's about a lil program that turns your cute human-readable input method tables into the actual data file that the SCIM generic table module eats for breakfast. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

scim-make-table — generate data file for SCIM generic table module

like. that's the whole vibe. it makes the data file. the SCIM generic table module is obsessed with it 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

scim-make-table table [option]...

so you give it a table and then you can pile on as many [option]s as your heart desires. no cap. ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so the tea: the scim-make-table program reads human-readable text files that describe the input method table, and then it generates the data file that the SCIM generic table module actually uses. it's giving translator energy. it's giving "i speak human, you speak binary, let me handle it" 😭

• table — this is the text table file, and it describes the input method in a human-readable format, usually with comments and everything. so yes, you can leave lil notes for yourself in there, she supports it 💖

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -o outputfile — save the new table to file. like, that's where it goes. that's the destination. periodt.
• -b — convert to binary format, otherwise it goes to text format. so no -b means text, got it? iykyk.
• -no — do not save the new phrase table. that's it, that's the whole thing. sometimes you just don't want the phrase table and that's valid 🙈
• -if ifreqfile — load phrase frequencies from file. feeding it the numbers fr fr.
• -of ofreqfile — save phrase frequencies to file. writing those numbers back out, iconic.
• -s file — specify the source file to count phrase ages. she's doing archaeology on your phrases 🧚
